That something could have happened with Dustin, for those who want to focus on one person, since she ends up having a sexual relationship with him anyway. One of the things that makes a good game for me, is options. All the good games with a male MC I'm playing let you choose if you'll go for a love interest or not. If I feel like playing as a manwhore I'll play as a manwhore, if I'm more interested in one girl, I'll keep my focus on her. That also adds replayability to the game. As for not following the story, if I have to play throught content I don't like, of course that will take my focus away from the story. If I have to sum up the last update I'll talk mostly about the things I didn't like, because those caught my attention. It's more likely to tell you about Karlie flashing her tits to the douchebag surfer than Dusting buying a resort.
